barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 30/06/15 11:20 AM Share Posted 30/06/15 11:20 AM ratter , so a 2 litre turbo engine that has 200 hp and a turbo 6 that has 200 hp have the same torque ? just askingThat's not what he said, if those 2 engines were making the same power at the same rpm the maths tells us they have to be making the same torque 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a simple minded person so please explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
